Wild Wolf Encounter Rate Data

Hi, I'm tracking the general encounter rate of Wild Wolves. One of the things I put in the beta survey was for wild wolves to have a higher recruit rate, as the encounter rate is far too low. But I don't actually have actual data down, so I decided I would gather data in each location where you can find a wild wolf. I plan on doing 1000 overall scenarios, and taking down how many wild wolves I encountered. As a bonus, I'll add how many I recruited.

I'm pretty sure the data will be the same in every Explore area, but I will still do every area. I hope that this will at least be informative to everyone else, and maybe convince the devs to either increase the recruit and/or encounter rate, or lower how many Knucklebone tokens you need to get a wild wolf.

The current data I have gotten is listed below.

Murkwood:

Barboa's Slough:

17/1000 (One recruit at 9th encounter)

Southmarsh:

13/1000 (No recruit, only encounters)

Bloodmoon Grove:

14/1000 (No recruit, only encounters)

Darkspine:

The Neck: 8/1000 (Recruit at 4)

Evergloom: 12/1000 (Recruit at 7 and 10)

Blackwater Pines: 15/1000 (One recruit at 12th encounter)

Goldsea:

Elius' Watch: 7/1000

Western Barrens: 8/1000 (Recruit at 7)

Time would also be valuable information for this- perhaps they only want you to be able to recruit 1 in 20 encounters, which wouldn't be so bad, if it didn't take hours upon hours of grinding. I think time will be an important persuador! Something to consider.

I really appreciate you doing this anyway!

I feel less bad about my losses of wolves at this rate, but that makes me sad that it is so low

Always take care when walking alone, lest you meet those monsters in the woods. They look beautiful at first (like snow), but then you see their too long faces, their all black eyes. Any you hear their garbled words, spoken in sing-song voices. Like a parody of of you.
It's really such a terrible thing to know.

Thank you for this. I don't feel like a complete failure for messing these up, but I do have a question. Did it matter which option you chose when you did managed to recruit one?
